"But Erii, she..."
"At a time like this, neither you nor I have the right to talk about 'but'!"
The conversation between Tachibana Masamune and Genji Chisei finally ignited a glimmer of hope among those present.
Erii Uesugi possesses the extremely dangerous Word of Power, Judgment, which is said to be capable of killing gods.
However, Uesugi Kotsu vehemently objected: "It is the Shadow Emperor's duty to fight against the gods. I will personally stand on the front line of killing the gods, but my children absolutely cannot!"
Listen to me, young man. Take your younger brother and sister and leave now. Go to... go to the Kassel College and find that old scoundrel Angers.
If anyone in this world could successfully kill a god, I firmly believe it would be this guy!
"I've lost contact with Chizuru." As he said this, Genji lowered his stubborn head, his chest still aching slightly. "I will never leave Japan to live a life of ignominy!"
"What does it mean to live a life of ignominy?! It takes the greatest courage to continue living with everyone's hopes. This time, the events we were left to prepare for were too hasty, and the gods' awakening was too sudden."
However, I believe that with sufficient preparation time, we hybrids can also defeat the gods.
So you and Erii absolutely cannot be let down like this!
Uesugi Kotsugi's reasons were indeed reasonable and well-founded, and many people's faces showed signs of interest, including Genjiro himself.
Just as Genji was about to agree, a young man's face suddenly appeared in his mind. He wondered if it was him who would be able to deal with the newly awakened "god".
“I know someone who might have a way to deal with the awakened gods.”
"Who?"
"Cao Han, one of the special agents who came to Japan to carry out the mission, was a freshman who just entered the school this year. His bloodline rating was an unprecedented S+ level. On the day he entered the school, he killed a second-generation species with a dragon body all by himself."
Perhaps the newly awakened and weakened god Cao Han will have a way to deal with this, even if it's just a preliminary defeat that gives us time to catch our breath and plan our next move.
As Genjiro introduced the character, a similar figure appeared in Uesugi Kotsushi's mind. He asked in a low voice, "Are you talking about a guy who wears glasses, likes to have a wisp of hair on his forehead, and always has a confident yet punchable smile on his face?"
"You saw Cao Jun?" Yuan Zhisheng was greatly surprised.
"Because it was Cao Han, whom you mentioned, who found me and told me that you, Minamoto no Chizuru, and Uesugi Erii are all my bloodline descendants."
The truth is gradually coming to light.
"There's no time to lose. If that brat really has a way, that would be good."
"Okay, I'll call and see."
"Beep...beep...beep...The number you dialed is currently busy..."
Unfortunately, despite pressing the phone so hard it was practically smoking, both Fingel's and Lucy Pallas's phones remained in call mode.
Cao Han's case was even more outrageous; he had simply left the service area and couldn't be reached at all.
As time ticked by, the expressions on the faces of the people gathered at the Ju family's residence grew so grim they seemed to drip water.
In the end, it was Uesugi Kotsugi who stepped forward to stop Genjiro from continuing his actions, disregarding Tachibana Masamune's status as the current head of the family, and decisively decided, "That's enough!"
“If we continue to waste time, we may not even have a last chance to fight to the death. Listen to me, the family will arrange the fastest private flight for you. Take the most important things of the Snake Clan and your sister to Kassel College to ask for help.”
"I......"
Before Yuan Zhisheng could even refuse, everyone had already scattered at top speed to carry out their respective duties and make arrangements.
It was as if everything had been decided just like that.
……
at the same time.
Kassel College headquarters, Executive Department Central Control Room.
Today, the place has been cleared out, leaving only Minister von Schneider sitting in the center of the hall. He slowly took out a small, historic tin box from his pocket, which contained golden tobacco.
For Schneider, tobacco was equivalent to poison, as everyone in the academy knew, because a strange disease had caused his respiratory organs to fail severely, and he had to rely on assistive devices to maintain breathing 24 hours a day.
So he had to drag an oxygen tanker truck wherever he went.
But now Schneider actually rolled a beautiful hand-rolled cigarette, his movements swift and fluid, clearly the work of a seasoned smoker.
But as soon as he lit it, he took a deep breath and then coughed violently, as if he were coughing up his entire lungs.
"Are you trying to commit suicide out of guilt?" a voice came from behind.
Schneider was taken aback: "I didn't expect it to be you on duty today, Professor Manstein."
Manstein placed a pillbox on the table. "If you really want to smoke, take this. It has a calming effect, at least you won't cough like this. Can that piece of junk you use to breathe even be called a trachea? Even a piece of intestine would be better."
“I think so too, but unfortunately the equipment department and the medical department both told me that this is the most suitable material.” Schneider took a pill and inhaled a few breaths of oxygen. “Fortunately, I don’t have to worry about getting a sore throat.”
“I’ve seen your medical report. The only cause of your death will be lung failure,” Manstein said bluntly.
Schneider no longer wanted to talk about his own problems. He took another drag of his cigarette, and this time his reaction was much milder. He closed his eyes slightly and quietly savored the aroma of the tobacco.
"You chose to come here to find me at this time, not just to bring me medicine, right?" Schneider suddenly asked.
Manstein threw a document on the table: "This is satellite imagery of the Japanese branch from above. The entire country is shrouded in natural disaster."
I think I don't need to tell you what this means, Professor Schneider.
Just now, the school contacted two of the agents sent to the Japanese branch, Fingel and Lucy Pallas, who were tasked with the mission. They told the principal about a horrifying plan that was personally devised and executed by one of your students, Cao Han!
I am here on behalf of the Board of Trustees. Has your student told you any more unknown facts?
If you cannot provide a satisfactory explanation, Professor Schneider, you will be facing a formal trial.
From the moment he met Cao Han, von Schneider was absolutely certain that this young man was incredibly audacious, but he never expected that his prediction was a little too conservative.
He never expected that what was originally a simple mission to the Japanese branch would eventually turn into a god-slaying, or dragon-slaying, plan.
As the head of the executive department who approved this mission, the board members believed that von Schneider must have known some inside information beforehand but chose not to report it.
"Ha, ha, ha~"
A hoarse laugh escaped Schneider's lips; he couldn't remember the last time he felt so exhilarated. "The very purpose of our Kassel College is to slay dragons!"
"Right now, my students are doing the most dangerous dragon-slaying thing for the old men on the board of directors. What right do they have to question me?"
Or do they think that I, a useless person confined to a wheelchair, am qualified to stop that kind of fierce person who claims to be going to kill the Dragon King all by myself?
All I want to say is that the board members think too highly of a useless person like me.
In fact, I only knew about it a few hours earlier than you, or rather, just a moment before Cao Han took action.
After that, once Cao Han started his plan, no one could stop him.
Manstein took out his black card and inserted it into the card slot on the control panel. The large screen displayed the Gattuso family crest.
“I didn’t expect you to be loyal to the Gattuso family.” Schneider raised an eyebrow. “Your freak father is the kind of person who loves to go against the Gattuso family.”
"It's not a matter of loyalty. I'm the head of the disciplinary committee and have the authority to investigate professors. This sudden dragon-slaying battle is too bizarre. From beginning to end, only you and the principal made the decision. You hastily threw a freshman with the best bloodline to the Japanese branch, which is not in line with your usual style. I want to hear your explanation."
"explain?"
Von Schneider chuckled as he removed his oxygen mask, revealing his nightmarish face. The flesh below his eyes was completely withered, with only a layer of skin clinging to the bone. His lips and nose had shrunk, and his incisors were exposed.
"It's ugly, isn't it? That's the best explanation!"
Manstein slowly shivered: "How could this be?"
“This is a mark left on me from a mission 11 years ago,” Schneider said. “If you let Norma leave this room, I can tell you a story that happened to me.”
That was a tragedy that happened in the autumn of 2001...
"The irony is that the very people who devised the Greenland Plan back then are now the school board members, and the people who made it happen with the most effort are the Gattuso family to whom you serve."
To this day, von Schneider is absolutely certain that the Gattuso family is pursuing the ancient dragon embryo that emits a heartbeat.
“Manstein, sometimes I really envy you, because you and people like Guderian live in a clean world, not sin-devourers like me and the principal!”
"The Sin Eater?"
"They are the ones who devour evil. Not everything that is right in this world is just, nor is everything that is just necessarily right."
You just asked me why the principal and I so hastily approved Cao Han's request to go to Japan to carry out a mission.
The reason is actually very simple; it's just because of a single sentence that might seem trivial to you.
I still remember that it was the day after the Kendo Hall's feat that Cao Han took the initiative to contact the two of them and arranged to meet in the principal's office.
Cao Han first handed over Yuan Zhisheng's application for early graduation to Principal Angers, and then made the request to go to Japan together.
When they invited Cao Han to Kassel College, they both promised to give him the freedom to choose, but they still asked about his reasons for going to Japan.
Because, in the view of Angers and von Schneider, Cao Han had no reason to go to Japan under any circumstances.
"The flames of revenge of the two of you will be ignited in Japan. What do you think?"
For some reason, the two of them only saw determination and confidence in Cao Han's eyes, and neither of them asked how he knew the story that had happened to them.
There are already too many secrets surrounding Cao Han, so what's wrong with adding one more?
What truly moved Angers and Schneider was the "fire of revenge" that the other mentioned.
It's understandable that Angers has been waiting for an opportunity to unleash its power.
Only Schneider, who was almost a cripple, had a slightly dazed look in his eyes. Could the flame of revenge in his heart really be rekindled one day?
Regardless of the reason, Cao Han's explanation successfully moved the two men and garnered their support.
Only now, witnessing the natural disasters that have engulfed all of Japan, have they belatedly realized...
Cao Han went to Japan to slay the dragon, but the one he slayed was the White Emperor, whom no one expected.
Upon learning of the situation, Principal Angers did not delay for a moment and quickly announced that after Kassel College declared a state of "wartime emergency," all arrangements would be made by "Norma."
From this moment on, Kassel College, a war fortress built to slay dragons, came into full motion.
Without exception, all the trainees were fully armed and ready to go.
The principal himself immediately boarded his private plane, named after the eight-legged horse "Sleipnis," and traveled to Japan.
The folding knife in his hand was already gleaming with a terrifying cold light even before it was drawn.

"will not."
